whiskey /
thick, with scenes of smoke
wine and cheese,
acid trips and the tease
of ruby-red lipstick,
blacklisted pens and
kaleidoscope lights—

it is a flourish of tints,
bold tones, lenses tinged
journalistic to mythos,
these city-light days,
night dotted drunk with twine,
echos, as the spool runs dry,
tapes blurring til worn—






The gist/ rules:

BEA composes a list of our 100 favourite films of the 1960s. (Again! V2!). All lists will be PMed to me or posted in this thread, maxing out at 100. The final list will be 100 films. I'll be accepting lists of any denotation up to 100. The size of your list determines its weight. Films must be longer than 40 minutes. Films must have an international premiere date between January 1st 1960 and December 31st 1969. Documentaries are allowed. Comedy specials will not be accepted.

SUBCATAGORIES
—10 Best Music Scores
Which you may submit up to 25, but the final lists will be the top 10.
(Music scores will only account for original material)

—10 Best Short Films
Which you may submit up to 25, but the final lists will be the top 10*.
(Short films are defined as films between the length of 2-39 minutes)
(This is the first time we have ever done this, and I'm sure there will be hiccups, but for now I'm just going to cross my fingers)
Please feel free to post short films via Youtube in the thread!
(Would love to have a short-film festival vibe— there's plenty to dive into).
*this may be increased depending on the popularity/submission results/public response

Thanks Olli, Bozo & Charli— tallied

And thanks for the early shorts list Charli. Definitely a good handful on there I want to check out. Watched Time Piece for the first time yesterday— it'll definitely land my list. Just an overall fascinating experience to see Henson in almost this talented-college-film-student-esque state.
